Central Park was a lovely place in the early seventies.The trees glowed like this as we passed the day listening to music and watching the sun slide over the park.Everyone believed in cooperation and equality. Isolation,competitiveness and segregation were things of the past.The brightness cleaned our eyes of darkness and opened us up to see things our parents couldn't.Our view was the complete opposite of those in battle in Asia or in the board room.The earth below us moved and our bodies slipped along the slopes of the surrounding lawns.We became one with the lawn and alive like never before.The people that pasted were holy and connected to us like light beams from God.The realization that God was in all creatures,especially man,was reflected in the caring and humility demonstrated in word and action.As we moved as one,democracy in the workplace was essential and at the forefront of conversation.Equal revenue from working,with no one individual receiving more than another was the foundation of a just economic model.Sharing the fruits of labor as equals with dignity were the pathways to follow. Cooperating humans in the process of bringing resources to communities who need assistance became a cornerstone for the future.Our love of nature overwhelmed us at times when we realized our living world was precious and beautiful and a true gift to treasure.The field of battle was as foreign as the places it took place in.The darkness of war reminded us of the darkness of a competitive society that had marginalized vast segments of our society.There was no need for poverty if we all pulled together to solve our problems and extinguished our needs.We were in love with life and everything that was positive in it.Our brains were changed and still remain that way even if we forget sometimes.This is why we still want to nationalize health care,banks,insurance,agriculture,coal and oil,retail and wholesale food stores,housing and anything else that supports all our citizens.
